The new state budget approves spending for more than 600 new state employees, yet the Ninilchik DOT maintenance station is being closed, and the Homer station is losing crew members. And your local representative, Drew Scalzi, and mine, Mike Chenault (I've been redistricted) voted for this.

And Scalzi and others like him have the nerve to challenge budget naysayers to tell him where to cut the budget! Time to throw them out!
